chicago and philly, we understand, are advising some of their teachers that they need to get back into classrooms. and if they do not do so there could be disciplinary action. you are a doctor here. you have been in this thing. if you could sit down with some of these districts, how would you advise them on what to do? we do know that kids need to get back in school. is forcing teachers back in the classroom the way to do it right now? and should they take prioritization for vaccine, those teachers? >> well, we clearly need to get students back in the classroom. i think it's critical for the kids. it's critical for education. it's critical for the economy. you cannot reactivate the economy to get kids back in. kids cannot be back homeworking and teaching again. schools are critical to have the economy up and running again. what we know in schools right now, transmission in schools is very low unlikely if we follow mitigation strategy. i'll be making sure that the groups are following appropriate mitigation strategies. social distancing, masking. you know, cleaning procedures. having go

accountants, interior designers, teachers. chicago's mayor and the state attorney general, both democrats, argue the same should be the case for law enforcement. okay. we don't have the sound bite. but they say if your barber has to be licensed, you should have to be as well. illinois's attorney general tried to pass licensing requirements when he was a state lawmaker after the shooting in ferguson, missouri. they removed that policy from the legislation to get police reform laws passed. the national police association does not support this without additional information. they say each department has oversight already in place and every law enforcement agency across the state would need to be on board with this policy in order to avoid a legal fight. neil? neil: all right. grady, thank you very very much. we will see how that goes. meanwhile, another political fight is brewing, this where the president you know doesn't want to have the republican convention in the state of north carolina, charlotte, north carolina. because he
